About
The Catterthun is a big wreck about 3 km north east of Seal Rocks and is plagued by currents. Visibility is highly variable, from brail to crystal clear and rarely in between. The Catterthun is blanketed by red sponge, gorgonian fans and black coral, which add to its beauty. There are nearly always sharks of some type on the wreck along with schools of kingfish, jewfish and snapper. It is common to see bronze whalers and hammerheads here. There are loads of artefacts to discover but please don’t damage or remove any. Of particular interest are horse bones in the bow, passenger jewellery, and three missing boxes of gold sovereigns. The horses were intended as cavalry reinforcements.
